Describe your race day.

getting my packet was very chill, and the start line was nice with water and the inclusion of the blanket things was so nice as it was snowing. I live in the area and it can be hot or cold the weather was as good as it could get for a race
Did you PR?

i think i did the only other marathon is the revel Big Cottonwood so there was only down hill for me with the full distance :)
How would you describe the course?

down !! so much down
Tell us about your training.

well I am a medical student that is starting residency and my training partner is a physician as well so we took a minimalist approach due to time and life constraints we did a few long runs on the course which was key and just counted on our base of about 25-30 miles a week ish :)
What advice would you give future runners?

never think that a downhill race will be easy ... never ever. and respect the course with your garbage and glues ect people do actually live in the area you are visiting and dont wanna see plastic and garbage along the road, its still a place where the wild things try and live as well!!!
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I trained on the amazing trails that the city of Las Vegas has to offer! Vegas is running heaven. Thanks for bringing Revel to Nevada, hope you guys come back next year !
